Three simple ways to increase sales now.
(No Matter How You Primarily Market Your Business Product Or Service!)
So what three things would you do, to increase sales now? Especially if your resources are extremely limited.
Heck, you’re probably partly in that position right now, are you not? because you probably can’t just whip out your check book
and write a check for an unlimited local TV and radio ad campaign can you? other than the deep pocket corporate america types, who can?
How To Increase Sales Now!
And besides, those outrageously expensive (D.O.A.) Dead on arrival type of glitzy so called “Image Ads’ that Madison Avenue ad execs are so fond of peddling, to their deep pocket corporate clients, will do absolutely nothing for your bottom line, except drain it.
So with that said, let’s quickly explore three incredibly simple, non techie ways, for you to systematically increase sales now.
Now let’s state the obvious right up front, none of these three tactics/strategies, is going to create an extra six figures (or more) in your business unless you happen to operate a chain of stores or perhaps you have an extremely receptive list (or or) offline.
So let’s set a realistic bar; (meaning), what you can realistically expect from properly and consistently implementing, these three proven strategies.
And you’ve got to be honest about where you are currently and what you’re going to do specifically, to get wherever it is, you’re trying to get to.
Within a reasonable amount of time.
Don’t expect to apply these powerful marketing strategies sporadically, and expect big results fast! No way.But you can reasonably expect to see steady incremental increases in your gross profits, provided you stay the course, test, track and tweak.
Increase Sales Not Your Just Overhead!
1.) Strategy # one: This first strategy piggyback off of a proven retail fact; which says that F&F (friends and family) are one of the three biggest influences of a purchasers buying decision.
Of course you even though you just read that incredibly powerful statement of fact, the long marketing concepts flew past you, didn’t they? Because you’re thinking, yea so what?
Here’s the what for you; since F & F (friends and family) are one of three biggest influence rs of a purchasers buying decision, you would be wise to make sure that you create (asap), some type of formalized referral generating system. Because, when a friend (or highly respected source) like Oprah, highly recommends a book, movie, restaurant etc.
Guess what? The provider of those services experience an increase in sales. Right now! Why? Because they’re savvy enough to leverage the huge influence of a friend, family member and or respected associates recommendation!
2.) Strategy # two: just to piggyback off of surefire concept number one: let’s say that you run a fairly successful nick nack shop, and you cater to both men & women.
When it’s approaching Valentine’s Day, offer all of your male customers over 18, especially those wearing a wedding ban, a special coupon good for 20% (or X % ) off their next purchase, provided, they return to your store/shop within the next X number of days.
They’ll bring another potential new long term customer, which happens to either be their girlfriend and or spouse, and you’ll potentially add another new long term customer for pennies on the dollar.
Why? because the new customer respects and trust the person referring the product or service to them.
And you’ll shave at least 75% or more off your traditional advertising marketing cost, in order to acquire them. You’ll cut cost in one area, while simultaneously increasing results producing resources in another.
3.) Strategy # three: This last technique has to do with you systematically always keep your eyes on your contracts, leases and vendors etc. Keep your vendors competitive by actively soliciting at least three competitive bids on new projects! this one tactic alone, will help you stay lean, mean and focused!
And that in nutshell entrepreneur, is how you increase sales now.
